They've had some pretty outrageous plot lines only tangentially related to rape, and they've gotten more ridiculous as time's gone on. They solve the rape case in the first 5 minutes but then find out the victim's husband is a terrorist working on a virus to decompile the Internets or something, so they have to fly to North Korea to stop him.

I saw a lot of episodes of SVU thru the first maybe 6 seasons. It's amazing how many times they were able to regift the exact same dialogue after every initial interrogation.

ADA: Cut him loose.Benson: Excuse me?ADA: You have no evidence, there's nothing to hold him on.Stabler: If we let him go this guy is going to be BACK OUT ON THE STREET looking for another victim!ADA: Well then get me something I can use!

They still do that dialog now at season 14...

Show is still good without Meloni. The new dude doesn't have the same presence as Meloni had w/ Stabler but he does a decent job filling huge shoes..

I know the guys (and probably some gals) think she's fine to look at, but whether she just found out that a child has been victimized in a heinous crime, or she's reeling from an assault, or she's puzzling over the sudoku in the paper, she always looks like she's wondering, "What's that terrible smell?"

I love when they go in a library and demand a patron's record and Ice-T says something like, "I don't care about the First Amendment. I care about finding this little girl."

Are they still bringing in a new prosecutor every year because the prior one committed suicide from having to work with such stupid people?

I always wanted to see the prosecutor just get fed up one day, "Fine, you farking retards, since you can't understand the shiat that me and my predecessors have been trying to nail into your heads for 10 years to no avail, let's take this case to a grand jury. Let's take all of them to a grand jury, every single one! And when they all fail to indict, every single time, maybe you will understand the concept of EVIDENCE you farking inbreds...fark"

Then she storms off and Benson says "Wow, whats eating her Cap?" and Kragen says "Jesus I need a drink"

I like when the person says they aren't going to disclose any personal information and then the detective says "This guy raped 4 girls" and the person says "Oh my God! Here's all the records"

Twist2005:movieman_1979: She had farking better after last season's cliffhanger ending..

What? What happened?

The episode featured a number of the many men she had falsely accused of rape and child molestation over the years. In the last shot, she has the barrel of her gun in her mouth and her finger on the trigger.

Hey, I invented that routine.

Nah, his routine was to bark either MAKE A DEAL or TAKE THE DEAL to an indignant and whiny Sam Waterson.

Shows like this help to get the public accepting of the police ignoring the law for the children. Fark you Hollywood.

I like it when the DA says "that's not enough for a warrant, the cops say "don't you get it? this is a bad guy who does bad stuff and will keep doing bad stuff" and the DA says "okay, I'll get a warrant."

Yeah, they usually explain that by saying they're going to try the catch the one Judge who doesn't do his/her job correctly (paraphrase).

I like that one episode when Ice T and Maroni were really angry. You know, it was the one where they went into so much detail on a child sex crime that it seemed to cross the line into salacious titillation designed to attract a pedophile audience, but of course that wasn't what the writers intended because Mariska made a face and said how disgusted she was. Which season was that one in?

I miss the original Law & Order, but I still like SVU if only for the interesting legal arguments. They always wiggle out of any actual legal opinion on any given topic but usually give me food for thought no matter how stupid the circumstances. I think it's the only non-scifi serial I still pay any attention to anymore. Wait, Castle too, but Castle is more murder mystery than interesting takes on law. I miss Shark.

Barfmaker:Is the guy who plays her partner still on that show? Man I got so tired of him and his constant anger issues I stopped watching years ago.

I loved Elliott Stabler even though his anger did become rather predictable and tedious. It was so predictable in fact that my GF and I would refer to it as "Gettin' Stabilized" when he would rough up a perp.

FirstNationalBastard:Barfmaker: FirstNationalBastard: Barfmaker: Is the guy who plays her partner still on that show? Man I got so tired of him and his constant anger issues I stopped watching years ago.

Nah, he left after only 12 seasons.

And the fun part of this season is that it should be the year John Munch beats Frasier Crane and Matt Dillon to become longest running primetime character.

Huh, cool. What was the storyline for his departure?

There wasn't really one, IIRC. He left between seasons, so they explained why he was gone in the first episode of the season without the actor being present.

/After some damn kid shot a nun, he shot the damn kid. Then he went from angry cop to sad cop and resigned, and they told us he had went back to his home planet, and his ship exploded on the way.

I was really hoping for service weapon lollipop. It would have also been in keeping with his raging PTSD.
